Well, there's still a guy selling reader kits:

Well, currently I couldn't find any items on eBay. And he doesn't list
a contact address that I could find.
So, "still selling" doesn't seem to be accurate any more.
Also, his reader has one slight "defect" in my humble opinion; no
automated feeder.
So, if one was going to build a reader, were would one find the essential parts?
- the photo diode array
- the sprocket wheel
with the correct dimensions for reading eight-channel tape.
